A spammer, by any other name, would pretty much be just as spammy.

I get a lot of spam, whether it's about body parts, bank accounts or unpronouncable prescription drugs. I keep a folder of spam in my email just to collect the amazing names that are attached to these emails. Here are some of the actual (unretouched) names:

Since I switched to my own domain for email (from yahoo.com) and use temporary email names for any business communications, I get ZERO spam. The temporary email names I use have the name of the business in it (like temp-bestbuy@yahoo.com), which makes it easy to see who is selling your address to spammers. When I do get spam, I just delete that temporary email and I stop buying from the company that sent my email to spammers.
